He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a founder member of the Royal Automobile Club. He was born near Thrisk, North Yorkshire on 31st May 1845. His education was interrupted by the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854, he was so interested in the event that in 1856 he travelled to the Crimea on HMS Dragon and visited his brother in what was the front line. Due to this travel he made a claim for the Crimea medal with clasp Sebastopol, something in which he was not entitled to, however he felt he should have been so wore the ribbon for the medal on his tunic. When the Royal Engineers Electrical Volunteers were formed in 1897, Crompton became the commanding officer and served with the force in the Boer War, being heavily involved in the use of searchlights during combat due to the high percentage of night time attacks launched by the Boer’s. He was mentioned in despatches for his service during the Boer War and also made companion of the Order of the Bath. He was appointed honorary colonel of the London Electrical Engineers in 1911 and 27th (London Electrical Engineers) Battalion RE in 1923. He died in North Yorkshire in February 1940. This tunic formed was formerly part of the Barrie Morris collection and exhibited in his museum in North Yorkshire. When the museum closed the tunic was purchased by the current vendor.
